My 14 year old son has been buying parts to build his own custom AR for about a year now. Got most everything but the most important part. The lower receiver. What we are finding is most gun shops are selling the lowers on gun brokers.com. For 4-5 times what you'd normally pay and were struggling to get any type of lower bought right now. It's crazy. But for us. We want to get it finished now and in a hurry.

I've been trying to decide on a new coyote gun for quite some time. Oops, my indecision has cost me dearly. The HK SL8 or Robarm XCR-L I'd been looking at have gone through the roof.
Needless to say, unless you have money to burn the new normal is at a different scale.

Pete

For the last 10 months I have been stocking up on reloading supplies and have enough to last me for some years to come. I have enough pistols, but did put a new rifle in the safe yesterday.
I have had a CZ-24 Mauser rifle made in 1937, pre-war, sitting in my gun safe for about 16 years. I finally took it out and pulled the military barrel and modified the action and bought a commercial after market trigger guard & magazine & bolt sleeve. Cut off the military bolt handle and welded on a commercial replacement for scope use.
Also threw away the military trigger and replaced it with a adjustable after market trigger and a new Shilen #2 contour match barrel. Just finished rebluing it and re-stocking it to a pre-letted Robert's walnut Monte Carlo stock. Free floated the barrel, glass bedded the action. 30-06 caliber and will be taking it out next week for shooting after I finish loading up some 165 gr. Nosler Partitions for it with different powders.
After all these years of using a 25-06 and a 300 Win. Mag. I finally went back to the good old 06. Plan to try it out on elk this coming season out of state.
Talking about re-loading supplies. They are hard to get today with the buying frenzy. Supplies for .223, 9MM, 45 acp are just at the point of not being able to find anywhere. Everyone is out of stock. The economical rifle bullets are hard to find and only premium bullets are available in most of the common calibers.
Brass for .223, 45acp, and 9mm are out in most places. If you look for those calibers now, you may have a hard time finding any available. Primers and powder are also in short supply.
We have a local gun show coming up in a nearby county this weekend. The guy that has been putting on the show for over 20 years has stated that the majority of his vendors that sell primers and powder and reloading bullets have cancelled being at the show due to being completly sold out on those items. They were unable to get more supplies for the gun show.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-17-13 AT 10:21PM (MST)[p] It is freaking crazy! Stocked up on reloading! But supplies are running thin every where! I have a pretty good supply and guns I have more then enough guns. Do you think that things like bullets,primers and powder will come back?

Rutnbuck; like last time in 2008, just give it 3-4 months and the scalper prices will go down and supplies will be plentiful again.
It is not just horders, you have guys that pretty well know when this is going to happen, like Obama being elected and re-elected, and they buy big amounts to hord until everything gets scarce due to a buy-hord frenzy. Then they pop up with supplies at more then double the price.
I remember primers going for 50 bucks a brick of 1000 after Obama go elected the first time. It did not last that long back then and some of those scalpers ended up still with a stockpile and the prices dropped back down to what they paid for them.
It may last a little longer this time due to Congress taking their slow time to decide what to do with the gun control issue. People will continue to hord supplies until things look better.

RE: IT'S OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT!!!!!
I had my freak out moment just prior too election. (I knew Romney was screwed)I dropped 500 bucks on reloading supplies best decision I ever made and also picked up an Remington R-15 for half of what you can get them for now. Every store I go to they limit you to one box of Ammo now. Crazy stuff but the gun shelves are definitley thin.

Nothing new just stocking up amunition a little at a time. The gun safe is loaded and ready.
Government doesn't fix anything and has spent trillions proving it!!!
Let's face it...After Monday and Tuesday, even the calender says WTF!

RE: IT'S OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT!!!!!
HorseCreek, You asked: "You got pics of the Brownings? 338 and/or 7mm? what models? How much?"
I don't have access to these two until next week but here are images of two that represent the make and models of the two I have for sale.
Thanks
DC
The Browning .338 is a BAR - Rocky Mt. Elk Foundation Banquet Rifle for $1,500.00
This is a picture of the rifle but not mine but mine is identical, this one is 113 of 200 mine is 134 or 200. Still in the box, never been fired. Never owned a .338 cartridge.
The Browning .7mm is a BAR - a used hunting rifle. I owned two of them, this one has the American Game images etched in the receiver. I'm asking $699.00 for this one.
Again, this is a picture of the rifle but not mine, mine has a few more dings on it but it looks like this one so far as make, model, etc. It's been hauled on a few hunts and shows the normal use ware but not beat to pieces, if that makes sense.

RE: IT'S OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT!!!!!
I was at the SHOT Show this week and I have never seen so many people!
I would bet there were 200 companies selling "tactical" rifles.
I don't know why......the next possible ammo date is reported to be June 1st.......and there is next to none available right now.
"I could agree with you, but then we would both be
wrong......and stupid"

RE: IT'S OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT!!!!!
Yeah after the election I could just see what was going to happen. Couldn't predict the school shooting and the gun buying stampede that resulted. After the election Glock 22, Keltec sub 2000, Ruger 10/22, glock 22 mags, ak us palm mags, 10k of 7.62x39, 3k of .40, 1k of 12ga. Call me crazy but find that stuff now anywhere at what price? Talked my buddy into buying an Arsenal AK and 1k of ammo. Boy is he glad he did. If you don't have it you aint gonna get it anytime soon. It won't be cheaper either. I missed the boat once. Wasn't going to miss the final call of port.

Finished building my second AR15 yesterday. And get this... 10 years ago my Glock was stolen from my house. Well 2 years ago it was used in a narcotics crime and finally after MONTHS of dealing with local PD I got it back yesterday! That and found 1000rds of 5.56 for a great price. I have plenty but couldn't pass up the deal.
